A Little Florida Lady

"A Little Florida Lady" by Dorothy C. Paine is a charming tale about the Davenport family's move from a wintry New York City to sunny Florida, as seen through the eyes of young Beth. The story centers on seven-year-old Beth, who, along with sister Marian and their parents, embarks on an adventure filled with new experiences and friendships in their new Southern home. The narrative highlights themes of childhood innocence, the importance of friendship, and the wonders of nature, beginning with the family's snowy departure and Beth's spirited optimism, exemplified by her mischievous attempt to bring a kitten along on their journey, and her excitement for the exciting landscapes that await her in Florida.
